The Southern Colorado Card Show returns to Pueblo on Saturday, July 11, 2026, filling the PCC Ballroom on the Pueblo Community College campus with a full day of buying, selling, and trading. Also known locally as the SoCo Card Show, this recurring event has become the anchor show for collectors across southern Colorado, and it sits an easy 45-minute drive down I-25 from Colorado Springs, making it a favorite summer road trip for Springs-area collectors looking for fresh inventory between Pikes Peak Card Show dates.
Expect more than 90 tables of dealers covering the full spectrum of the hobby. Sports card collectors will find deep selections of MLB, NBA, NFL, and NHL singles, from affordable base and rookie cards to graded slabs from PSA, BGS, and SGC, along with vintage cardboard from the 1950s through the junk wax era. Trading card game fans are well represented too, with vendors carrying Pokemon singles and sealed product, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece, and Disney Lorcana. Beyond cards, tables regularly feature autographed memorabilia, Funko Pops, comics, and collecting supplies like sleeves, toploaders, and magnetic holders.
The show runs one day only, Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Admission is free, which makes this one of the most accessible shows on the Colorado calendar, and there is no charge for parking on the community college campus. The PCC Ballroom is located at the Pueblo Community College campus at 900 W. Orman Avenue in Pueblo, with plenty of free surface parking a short walk from the ballroom doors. The indoor, air-conditioned space is a welcome refuge from the July heat.
This show works for every kind of collector. Families with kids chasing Pokemon cards will find plenty of affordable singles and mystery packs, casual collectors can dig through dollar boxes for hours, and serious buyers hunting graded vintage or high-end modern rookies will find dealers who bring their best material for this show. Because admission costs nothing, it is also a low-pressure first card show for anyone new to the hobby who wants to see what the community is all about.
A few tips for getting the most out of the day: arrive right at 9:00 AM if you are hunting anything specific, because the best deals and hottest cards tend to move in the first hour. Bring cash, since many dealers offer better prices for cash transactions even though most now accept cards and payment apps. Write out a want list before you go, and bring your own trade binder — this show has an active trading culture, and many dealers are also buying, so it is a good place to turn dormant parts of your collection into new pickups.
